3.3.2. Rehit Nama of Bhai Choupa Singh, the babysitter for Guru Gobind Singh, is another most quoted Rehit Nama

1) The Sikh of Guru should not share bed with a Muslim woman. As if he is allowed to share bed with women of other religions?

  1. ii) The Sikh of Guru should not trust a woman. Is woman considered not trustworthy in the Gurbani?

iii) The Sikh of Guru should take charnamrit which was kept under the cost of Granth, mixed with sugar and on which five pairs of Anand are recited. Is he trying to keep charnamrit, a Hindu ritual, along with the Khande da Amrit?

  1. iv) Service done to the Brahmans of the Gurus is of double benefit. It means the Sikh Gurus is of double benefit. It means the Sikh Gurus also had their Own Brahmans.
  2. v) The Sikh should greet the rising sun and rising moon. It is not recommended in Gurbani. vi) The reason for keeping the Sikhs Keshadhari was to keep them distinct from the others. There were many Hindus who were Keshadhari at that time. vii) Being a Sikh, should not dance, should not wash kesh (hair) with soap, should not remove turban at night, should not drink or eat the yogurt of milk from sheep, etc. All these instructions are illogical.

viii) Dharamsali Sikh (Granthi of Gurdwara) should not be leading a householder life. All the above Rehits are contrary to Gurbani, science and logic.

3.3.3. Rehit Nama of Bhai Dya Singh, one of the Panj Pyare: He has described the first Amrit ceremony as follows:

“When Devi (Durga/Bhagauti/ Chandi) appeared, then all the Devtas (gods) appeared. Ek O’ankar Sat Nam was given by the power of Guru Nanak. Kal (Kalka Devi) gave a steel Kara (bangle), Kesh (hair) were given by Chandi goddess. Kachh (shorts) was given by Hanuman. For preparing prasad (holy food), Krishan gavesugar, flour was given by Mahandev, and ghee (purified butter) was given by Brahma…”

The above scene, that all the ancient gods and goddesses appeared at the ceremony for initiating the Panj Pyare, is popularizing mythic works. If the above created scene by Bhai Dya Singh, who was one of the Punj Pyare, is taken as correct then it contradicts the whole philosophy of Sikhism given in Gurbani.

All the above examples of Rehits, described by the so-called the most respected and honored Sikhs in the history of the Sikhs, are incorrect according to Gurbani, science, and logic. Since Rehit Names are not reliable as mentioned by some sensible Sikh scholars previously in this paper, even the Rehits from these Rehit Names are being quoted by Kirtanwalas, and Kathakars in Gurdwaras and even by modern scholars in their writings to construct Sikhism.
